At the Star Sword Pavilion, there are about 15 new students who will study under the grandmaster named Tang Liu. This teacher is known for his intelligence and his temper towards the students.
He is around 60 years old. Master Tang is married to a woman named Li Hua, who is around 45 years old. They have a daughter named Ling Lian, who is about 16 years old.
Ling Lian studies in the same tower as her parents. In other words, Tang Ling Lian is not only their daughter but also their student. She is currently at the third level of the Martial Master cultivation realm. She is a senior intermediate student at the Heavenly Pavilion Association.
Here are the cultivation levels of the mortal entity realm in the story "Reincarnation of the God Emperor":
Beginner Practitioner, 7 levels
Intermediate Practitioner, 7 levels
Expert Practitioner, 7 levels
Martial Master, 7 levels
Martial King, 7 levels
Martial Emperor, 7 levels
Martial Ancestor, 7 levels
Martial Fairy, 7 levels
In the Heavenly Star Pavilion Association, the highest student is at the third level of the Martial King realm. This student has the surname Yan and the given name Yaoshan. He is a young man, around 20 years old.
Despite his young age, there is no other student in the Heavenly Star Pavilion Association with a realm level comparable to his. In fact, his level is almost equivalent to that of the assistant teachers, who are generally at the fifth level of the Martial King realm.
"Students, before I teach you martial arts techniques and cultivation, I will first inform you about the rules I have set during teaching. First, I do not want any student to be distracted or unfocused while I am teaching. If I find anyone like that, they will be expelled from this Tiger Pavilion and can try to enter another Pavilion."
With a very stern tone meant to intimidate the students, Master Tang explained the rules that must be followed when learning with him.
Besides focusing entirely on the lessons given, students are not allowed to miss classes for any reason. Anyone who violates this rule will be expelled from the Star Sword Pavilion.
The students just bowed their heads, not daring to respond or react to what Master Tang said. They were indeed forbidden to speak while he was talking. The atmosphere was tense during Master Tang's lessons. His tall and large stature made people even more afraid to deal with him.
"Today, you will begin learning the techniques of energy gathering and energy concentration to maximize the capabilities of your martial spirit. One by one, your martial realm will be measured," said Tang Liu in his usual flat tone.
Tang Liu then disappeared after finishing his speech. He returned to the regular world, joining the Heavenly Star Pavilion Association. Meanwhile, the 15 new students remained in the training dimension, supervised by three intermediate senior students.
Soon after, an old man dressed in green and black appeared. He was about fifty years old.
"Students, let me introduce myself. I am Yu Lau, an assistant teacher who will be teaching in this Star Sword Pavilion. You have been gathered in the Star Sword Pavilion because the purity of your souls is generally above the fourth level. This will be very compatible with your sword abilities, and even the power of your sword intent could become the strongest in this Heavenly Star Pavilion," said the teacher in green and black, who introduced himself as Yu Lau.
Yu Lau then proceeded to detect the level of martial spirit they possessed. Yu Lau activated the realm detection array using his summoning seals. A quadrilateral pattern emitted light upwards. Yu Lau then instructed the students to enter the arrays one by one.
Detecting the level of a practitioner's martial spirit is actually quite simple for another practitioner. However, Yu Lau did not want to be deceived by students who had the ability to conceal their martial spirit levels. Yu Lau feared that someone might infiltrate by pretending to be a new student.
After testing all the students, almost all of them were at the fifth level of the Beginner Practitioner realm. Only two were still at the first level of the beginner practitioner realm. The most outstanding was Kwu Sing, who was at the first level of the Intermediate Practitioner realm, nearly matching the average level of senior intermediate students.
"Good, I believe you are qualified enough to become students in the Heavenly Pavilion Association. However, after studying here, you must improve your abilities and quickly advance to the next level," explained Master Yu Lau as he retracted the realm measurement array.
"Yes, Master!" the new students replied in unison.
"Today, we will learn the technique of manifesting your martial spirit. Remember, manifesting your martial spirit is very risky, as you could lose it if you encounter a strong enemy or be tricked into having it stolen," explained Master Yu. "Now we..."
"Master!"
Yu Lau's words were suddenly interrupted. A student raised his hand. He seemed to want to ask a question.
"What is it? Do not interrupt people when they are speaking, especially if it is Master Tang teaching. You will be in trouble!" reminded Master Yu sternly.
Although Master Yu showed displeasure at the student's interruption, he did not display any anger or frustration. He merely reminded them not to make a habit of interrupting others, especially when Master Tang Liu was teaching. The student would surely face reprimands and could even be expelled from the Tiger Pavilion.
"Sorry, Master! I just want to ask a question," responded the student who had interrupted earlier.
"What is your question?" Master Yu frowned.
"If someone loses their martial spirit, will they die?"
"Hmmm, a good question. Essentially, a martial spirit is different from the life spirit within your body. If you lose your martial spirit, you won't necessarily die. However, you will no longer be able to cultivate or use any martial arts techniques. You will be crippled in the martial world, like an ordinary person with no strength at all," answered Master Lin.
All the students nodded as they listened to Master Lin's explanation. Although it was Liau Yen who asked the question, all the students listened intently to Master Yu's explanation, as it was also a question they had in their hearts.
"Alright, let’s continue!"
Master Yu then explained how to use the martial spirit to enhance attacks. He also taught the technique of manifesting the martial spirit as an offensive technique.
Master Yu explained that while this technique is very dangerous, it can increase attack power tenfold. Therefore, if facing an enemy alone, this technique is very effective for defeating opponents who are two to four levels higher.
After explaining it to the students, Teacher Yu ordered the new students to try it. Of all the students, only Tian Yun was unable to use the martial spirit to strengthen his attack.This was essentially because Tian Yun did not possess a martial spirit. He was the reincarnation of the God Emperor, who naturally did not have a martial spirit like ordinary humans."What is your name? Why can't you use the martial spirit refinement technique? From the information I received, you have a soul purity level of nine. You should be the most adept at cultivation enhancement and martial spirit control," said Teacher Yu Lau, who seemed not to understand what Tian Yun was facing.Tian Yun, as the God of Light, truly did not understand the martial spirit concept that the teachers at the Divine Tower Academy were referring to. In his past, he had cultivation and power control techniques but had never studied anything about martial spirits. That’s why Tian Yun, who had replaced the original body of T
"Thanks to the kindness of the teacher for lending me the cultivation technique book, I have successfully awakened the martial spirit within my body. However, I apologize for not being able to fully maximize it."Teacher Yu Lau nodded his head. He didn't seem to mind the achievements Tian Yun had made. Indeed, if someone else had undergone training in the dimension created by the gods, it would have been very difficult to endure, let alone achieve as much cultivation as the young man had accomplished."You have worked hard, Tian Yun! What you have achieved so far is already extraordinary. Perhaps anyone else awakening their martial spirit from the beginning of cultivation would only manage to cultivate at most ten times. But what you have gone through is beyond the bounds of normal human capacity. Perhaps that is what earned you the primary recommendation from the head of this academy."Tian Yun did not quite understand what his teacher was saying. He had no idea that the letter he on
"The Dragon God Fruit! However, this fruit is very rare, and the only place it grows is in the territory controlled by the Black Tiger Sect!" Master Yu responded to Tian Yun's question.He also explained that the Black Tiger Sect was notorious for its cruelty. No sect wanted to deal with them. Moreover, rumors had it that their leader had reached the Peak Martial Emperor Realm.Tian Yun fell silent. He had no knowledge of the sect mentioned by Master Yu. Furthermore, in the memory of his new body, he had never heard of the Black Seven-Star Sect.Reluctantly, he swallowed his disappointment because the opportunity to possess a strong body that could easily advance cultivation had to be accepted.Tian Yun then returned. His appearance was immediately greeted by Li Jiang."How was your training for seven days on Yu Lau's training ground? Have you managed to awaken your martial spirit?" asked Li Jiang.Tian Yun smiled, looking at his fellow disciple. He was somewhat pleased with Li Jiang'
"We're lucky to have been saved by a master this time! I wonder which master saved us; it seems they were reluctant to reveal themselves."In his heart, Li Jiang thought that the reason the master didn't reveal themselves was due to his family's respected name. The master didn't want to offend the patriarch of the Li family, who not only possessed great skill but also a highly respected reputation. Moreover, the Li family was closely associated with the royal family.Tian Yun just smiled and nodded his head in response to Li Jiang's words. He seemed unwilling to discuss what had just happened. It appeared that Tian Yun knew the origin of the protective shield that had enveloped them earlier.They then entered the sword pavilion. Coincidentally, they were both placed in the same resting room. This further strengthened their friendship.Li Jiang often helped Tian Yun study the techniques in the Heavenly Star Pavilion. Even though Tian Yun had already mastered those techniques, he greatl
"Tian Yun, I know that you're actually a very intelligent practitioner. It's just that your physical condition doesn't support your ability to progress faster. I could see earlier that you were able to notice the flaws in my sword technique. If you don't mind, could you tell me so that I can cover all my shortcomings?" Li Jiang sincerely asked for guidance from his friend."You flatter me too much!" Tian Yun replied with a smile to his friend.Tian Yun then explained to Li Jiang about some flaws in the sword technique practiced by his friend. He said that every time Li Jiang performed a rotation, it created a gap at the end of each spin. There was a void in energy that did not protect Li Jiang's defense. If an opponent were aware of this, it would be very fatal.Hearing Tian Yun's explanation, Li Jiang was half-believing, half-doubting. He asked Tian Yun to attack him, according to his words earlier.Without any hesitation, Tian Yun attacked Li Jiang after he used the sword technique
Teacher Mao Riun inscribed a seal toward the sky. Immediately, a large circle with a diameter of about ten cubits appeared above the head of the vice chairman of the Heavenly Star Pavilion. The circle was suspended by ten spears from the ground. Then he directed the circular array towards the center of the field."Now, choose one of your representatives to step into the array. Whoever manages to step out the fastest will be the winner for their group!"Without much discussion, Tian Yun immediately stepped into the array as soon as Teacher Mao Riun finished speaking. Of course, this action infuriated almost all the people in the Sword Pavilion. They thought Tian Yun was too foolish to enter the array, believing he could escape from it."That kid is so stupid! How can that fool quickly get out of Teacher Mao's Array Formation? If he's not careful, he could be trapped in there forever," said Li Chao with a cynical smile.Moments later, representatives from other towers also entered the a
Soon after, Bu Jun appeared almost simultaneously with the representative of the Star Dragon Pavilion, Ming Jao. A look of arrogance was evident on the face of the principal disciple of the Star Dragon Pavilion.Ming Jao glanced briefly at Bu Jun before shifting his gaze to Tian Yun. The 28-year-old man's face showed disdain for Tian Yun. However, Tian Yun didn't respond at all."Since the Sword Pavilion representative won, the Earth Dragon Pavilion will advance to the finals without a fight!" shouted Teacher Mao Riun.He then explained that the next battle would be between the representatives of the Element Pavilion and the Spiritual Beast Pavilion, or the Star Dragon Pavilion. Mao Riun took a short break before starting the elimination round between the two small pavilion representatives. The winner would face the Earth Dragon Pavilion representative, who had already advanced to the finals.Teacher Mao Riun's words were met with loud applause and cheers from the students present. Th
"The battle this time was won by the Spirit Beast Pavilion's side!" exclaimed Teacher Mao Riun, closing the match between the two towers that were competing.Then Master Mao ordered the senior disciples, who were representatives of each pavilion, to get ready. Kong Bu Jun and Ming Jao very swiftly jumped onto the fighting field. The two immediately saluted Master Mao.Bu Jun and Ming Jao's gaze intimidated each other. They tried to suppress the opponent's guts using sharp gazes containing auras. Both looked equally tough.After receiving a signal from Teacher Mao, the two senior students immediately attacked each other. Just like what the two junior students did earlier, they immediately smashed their palms against their opponents.This time, the explosion that occurred as a result of the clash of energy was stronger than the clash of energy between the palms of the junior disciples earlier. In fact, the sound of the clash resembled a deafening thunderclap. What an incredible show of
